Stember Feinstein Doyle & Payne attorneys represent individuals who have been demoted or terminated from employment after making a report of wrongdoing or waste to employers receiving government funds, or to governmental agencies. Under the law, employers cannot retaliate against "whistleblowers" who make these good faith reports.
For example, the firm is currently representing an Emergency Room doctor who was fired from his position at a West Penn hospital after notifying his supervisors of several instances where patient safety was compromised. This case has received attention in both the national and local press.
We also represent employees of publicly traded companies who challenge adverse actions taken against them for making complaints, or for providing information to investigators. Such retaliation is prohibited under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The firm also handles False Claims Act (Qui Tam) cases. This federal law allows people with evidence of corporate fraud against federal or state government to file suit on behalf of the government. These cases may involve false billing, kickbacks, or managed care fraud. Under such cases, the whistleblower may be entitled to retain a percentage of the money recovered by the government against the corporate wrongdoer.
If you believe you may have a whistleblower or qui tam claim, please call us at 412.281.8400 or contact us online.
